14 And the elders of the Jews continued building and making progress,+ urged on by the prophesying of Hagʹgai+ the prophet and Zech·a·riʹah+ the grandson of Idʹdo; they finished building it by the order of the God of Israel+ and by the order of Cyrus+ and Da·riʹus+ and King Ar·ta·xerxʹes+ of Persia. 15 They completed the house by the third day of the month of Aʹdar,* in the sixth year of the reign of King Da·riʹus.

And of the temple, ‘Your foundation will be laid.’”+

14 So Jehovah stirred up the spirit+ of Ze·rubʹba·bel the son of She·alʹti·el, the governor of Judah,+ and the spirit of Joshua+ the son of Je·hozʹa·dak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the rest of the people; and they came and began to work on the house of Jehovah of armies, their God.+
